I'm not getting enough bass from these speakers. They are connected to Onkyo TX 809. Is there a breakin time period for these speakers.

I have mine connected to a Denon X-2000 and have no issues with bass. May be the source. Did you use Audyssey? I have a sub connected as well but the speakers alone have a very nice range (highs and lows). Breakin time always helps but you should hear the bass from dual 8's. Sorry I can't help further.

Thanks for your question. All quality speakers have a break-in period of at least 100 hours, but depending on the room-acoustics, there should be some bass. Please make certain that the metal jumpers are installed and tightened across the two sets of bass and treble connection binding posts on the back of the speakers. This is a fantastic sounding speaker. World Wide Stereo is 36 years old and a very proud Klipsch dealer.

i felt the same way, but i think it has to do with the source. i tried listening to spotify thru mine and there was very little bass, i felt disappointed. but then i watch a movie with dts and the room was shaking. its not as powerful as a dedocated sub, but it has some power if the source provides it

Speaker placement and the nearby surfaces can greatly affect your perceived bass. Also, be sure the polarity between the amp and the speakers is the same - if it doesn't match, less bass.

One more thing Nate these speakers need to be broke in not all speakers need to be! But these do 20,30 hours of mild bass so they get use to the box you put them inn. If not you'll risk chance of blowing them.

yes they are. with quality sound from denon they sound very good. you don't miss nothing. you hear every little sound from it. it sounds like you are listening to surround sound. as for the bass, it got boom.

I have the same set, and the sub is under-powered compared to a lot of other speaker systems. However for me the bass is good with no problems, you might have received a damaged unit. The board and controls are "IN" the sub container, so they get hit by the air passing by. But I would contact Limitless Creations and see if they will replace it as a damaged unit.

Yes, they have a good bass but they will not last long. Mine lasted less than two months.

You might have gotten a defective speaker. Mine are just fine for sound no problem

I got Monster Cable Clear Jacket - for about $30 a pair sold through Crutchfield on the Amazon site.Are they the best - best can run into a $1000. So no, they are not the best, but spending more than I did would be overkill IMHOAre they better than what came with the set? Yes. And they were in my view at the right price point for the Onkyo>

I have these speakers connected to an Onkyo receiver and CD player and a vintage turntable. No problems whatsoever! The sound quality is obviously dependent on the music source. I find that they have a nice bass "punch" at low to mid-level volume. I'm not one to really blast music as I live in close proximity to neighbors. I don't have any experience using these speakers with games.

They actually lasted almost exactly a year (usually on full volume). I bought them Oct. 11, 2014 and about a week ago the sub woofer blew out. They were usually at 75% volume and sometimes higher so it makes sense that they lasted that long. If you will have them at full blast most of the time, I would look elsewhere. Otherwise, they are great speakers.

It all depends on the setup you want. The speakers (kenwood) pass 20hz to 22,000 i think.. Meaning they output bass but, not bass as boom boom. I tried them without the extra bass and they're good. It all depends on what you want. What do you want?

Your guess as as good as mine. I enjoy mine almost every day, but they are wired up to my audio amp. My guess is that Amazon is so fond of these speakers that they want everybody to notice them, regardless of the section they're browsing.

maybe some distortion and lack of clarity in general, they are 250$ desk top speakers with no woofer, that being said i still believe these are a great value, maybe you need to upgrade to full-on home stereo system

You shouldn't notice much difference in sound from when these are new and after they have played for a couple thousand hours... These are surround speakers so should be either the rear or side speakers which get very little use. Effect speakers in general see under 5% of what the front sound stage will see... I have never seen any proof that speakers needed to "break in", hook them up and enjoy...

Two things to note. Where and how you installed them. If they don't have a deep door panel or deck then you bass will be lacking, and it could. Be the deck or amp settings. Also you need to be aware that 3 way, 4 way, speakers will not deliver the sound of separate ttweeter, mid range, and bass speakers. If you're looking for big bass then you probably need a subwoofer.

I have (3) 100' (2) 200' (2) sub' (2) 150' Monster Speakers/System. Connected to Onkyo TX-SR 806. It sound real awesome!!! Clear sound that can hardly be matched!!! Can't find any more out there for sell. But I've got the best for a great, great deal! Later! E. Vargas - California

Sure thing, even better if you add a small subwoofer to the system. I have these plugged into an older Yamaha receiver along with an 8" JBL powered sub and it sounds pretty sweet!

I connect them through a home theater receiver/amplifier! After having them for several years, they are OK for the money but can be a little bassy for my taste.
